Ceiling fan services
A fan must hang from a box rated to support it. An ordinary light fixture box is not. We install fan-rated boxes and bracing, use downrods sized for the ceiling height, and balance the fan before we leave. Ceiling fans also work well alongside the evaporative coolers many Placitas homes use.

Local knowledge for Placitas, Sandoval County
Life along the middle Rio Grande means hot, dry summers, sudden monsoon storms, and dusty spring winds. In Placitas that shows up as sun-baked exterior wiring, surge damage after lightning, and older panels working harder than they were built to.
Most properties in Sandoval County get their electricity from PNM or Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
Our ceiling fan installation covers all of Placitas, along with neighboring Bernalillo, Corrales, Rio Rancho, and Algodones.
